Whether you are an experienced social innovator or are looking to build your skill set, a fellowship can help take you to the next level–through curriculum, mentorship, collaboration, and connecting with other talented and motivated fellows.Here is a list of 50+ fellowship programs. The first 17 or so fellowships have rolling admission deadlines. The remainder are grouped by the month the application is due. The fellowships support social innovation to varying degrees and have varying requirements—so take a stroll and click through the links to continue your research.

Please also add PresenTense to your list. http://presentense.org/fellowship PresenTense has 12 fellowships in 3 countries and we're looking for 140 new fellows this year. The WCJCC and Global Summer Institute take applicants from around the world. We focus on Jewish social entrepreneurs who have the passion and drive to transform their communities. Thanks Neetal!

I would add to the list the Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program (www.fordifp.net). This program supported post-graduate education for local leaders and community activists from marginalized populations in 22 countries around the world. Although the program is ending (members of the final cohorts are beginning their degree programs) it provides a useful model for supporting community leaders and social innovators, beyond the usual suspects.

Thanks for this very informative list, Neetal. We'd also like to suggest the American India Foundation's William J. Clinton Fellowship for Service in India. AIF's William J. Clinton Fellowship for Service in India provides a select group of young Americans and Indians the opportunity to work with non-governmental organizations and social enterprises for 10 months, in order to accelerate impact for marginalized and underprivileged communities in India. The Fellowship has sent over 250 Fellows to more than 150 high-impact organizations across India. We have 29 fellows in India this year, and you can read more about their experiences here: http://www.aifclintonfellowship.org/blog/

please consider adding City Hall Fellows – fellowships to work in and learn about local government for recent college grads. Application deadline varies by city by cohort year, but interested folks can sign up on the website to be notified of new application cycles. http://www.cityhallfellows.org

LeapFrog Investments, the profit-with-purpose fund, is seeking outstanding and dynamic young leaders to join us as Global Fellows. It is the opportunity to work as an Investment Associate or Legal Associate at one of LeapFrog’s three global offices in Asia, Africa and Europe and advance the frontiers of financial inclusion while working daily with global leaders in impact investing. Rolling applications, though the current Fellowship application is due December 15.http://www.leapfroginvest.com/GetInvolved

thanks for the great resource. one slight observation is that some of the links provided by different individuals have wrong deadlines including some on this post. This could be misleading. kindly adjust accordingly. Once again, great resource.

You should look at LGT Venture Philanthropy iCats Program, currently beginning the fourth class of fellows.

LGT Venture Philanthropy supports social organizations with financial capital, access to networks and intellectual capital. As part of the intellectual capital provision, the iCats Program matches business professionals with temporary positions at social organizations to increase their organizational capacity, thus acting as “impact catalysts”.
